The implementation of curriculum is considered as one of the most prominent phases after developing the 2013
primary and secondary curriculum in Indonesia, and this is greatly influenced especially by teachers' readiness
and competence. This research was aimed to investigate teachers' readiness and competence to implement the
2013 Curriculum, particularly viewed from their comprehension about the syllabus of English and its articulation
into lesson plans based on the principles of syllabus development as suggested in the curriculum. In addition, their
ability and their self-efficacy in implementing the curriculum in classroom teaching and learning processes were
also dealt with. Twelve senior high school teachers from different schools were assigned to complete a
questionnaire about their readiness and competence to implement the 2013 curriculum and were observed in their
teaching and learning process. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were employed in the research. Results
from quantitative analysis showed that teachers' readiness to implement the curriculum had low correlation to
their competence. Qualitative analysis revealed that teachers had adequate readiness to implement the curriculum
and adequate competence to develop lesson planning. For further studies, teachers' attitude, motivation, belief,
and commitment as regards the implementation of the 2013 curriculum need to be further investigated.
